Bill > SB00017

This bill proposes to appropriate an unspecified amount of money from the state's General Fund to the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, specifically to reimburse municipalities for additional expenses incurred from implementing early voting. The purpose is to ensure that local governments are financially compensated for the increased administrative costs associated with expanding voting access through early voting options. By providing these funds, the bill aims to support municipalities in managing the logistical and financial challenges of offering early voting without placing an undue financial burden on local election departments. The bill does not specify the exact amount to be appropriated, leaving that detail to be determined, but clearly intends to fully reimburse municipalities for their extra expenses related to early voting administration.
